"It has been very difficult for our family," said Lorraine Fedison-Winder, Trinece's younger sister. "Who could do something like that?"

Fedison-Winder said she knows very little about her sister's death or who may have killed her, but she said authorities told them her sister wasn't dead when she was placed in the city-owned trash can found by a city inspector in an abandoned alley.

"I think so much about those last moments of being upside down in a garbage can calling out for your life," said Fedison-Winder. "Waiting and praying that somebody could just hear you, but there was no one there to come to her call."

Tuesday afternoon, an NOPD spokesperson said there was no new information to report, and investigators are waiting for results of DNA tests.

In the meantime, for family of Fedison -- a nurse and single mother to a 17-year-old girl is pleading for the public to come forward with information.

"We're just begging, if there is anyone who has any information, or saw anything, please come forward," Fedison-Winder said. "So that we as her family, especially her daughter, can have peace in knowing that the person will come to justice."

Family members have also set up a gofundme account in Fedison's name, in hopes of raising money for funeral costs.

"Even if it's just $5 or $10, every penny will help as we attempt to give my sister a proper burial," Fedison-Winder said.
